Cast Steel Body Bolster Plans?

[jason midyette]

does anyone out there know of or have plans, photos, dimensions etc. for the cast steel body bolsters used on C&S  wood framed boxcars 8103-8192?

(These would be the Bettendorf Axle Corporation Cast Steel body bolsters that were also used on coal cars 4408-4497 and stock cars 7065-7084)

Thanks

Jason,

the only plan I have seen was in outdoor railroader mag Feb/March 1995 by Derrell Poole. I would love to see real photos myself.

Could they be a narrow gauge version of these that were engineered in 1898?
